Engine Mount... Weights?

Hey guys,

Just wondering what these following pieces are on the Drivers Side N13 Engine Mount. Can they be removed?

As you can see in the image:

(1) features no purpose in strengthening the mount socket as the join for the socket is opposite the weight/strapping. The only think that makes me question this one is I have seen it on Toyota Corollas aswell.

(2) features no purpose in a washer as on the other side of the mount, the bolt head doesn't even have a washer, and even if it were a washer its complete over kill! If they were removed an appropriate sized washer would be used on both sides and a shorter bolt obtained
